THE DRUMMERs WIN.
outside Commercial Agents Can Sell
Here without License.

The court In general term, by Its decision
yesterday, Justice Merrick delivering the
opinion OF the court, has opened the doors
wide for commercial agents from abroad to
come here and do business free OF taxation,
while the resident drummers and agents
are required TO pay the license tax. The
test case was made In the matter OF the
labeas corpus OF Henneck, OF Baltimore.
drummer, convicted as an unlicensed COM
mercial agent and sentenced in the police
court. The case was then carried up upon
habeas corpus and certified to the general
term to be heard In the first instance. II
was arranged last week by Messrs. #. and
G.. Miller, for the petitioner, and District
Attorney A. g. Riddle and his assistant,
Mr.. Harry Il. Davis, for the District.
The opinion Of the court was based upon
the recent decision OF the United States
Supreme Court In the Tennessee case, in
which IL was held that tax on drummers
Is q regulation OF commerce, which no
authority but Congress can make. therefore
the act OF the District legislature was void
as to drummers from abroad selling goods
here OF outside merchants, but the law was
operative against resident drummers and
agents selling goods Of District merchants.
This decision has the effect Of lifting the
tax heretofore imposed upon visiting COM
mercial agents, and giving them the prlvi.
lege OF selling by sample or otherwise,
while the home folks will not enjoy such an
exemption. The law, as enacted, was In
tended to reach the very people who are
now declared exempt from Its operation.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
Michigan Wants Suspension During
tho Season of Navigation.

In response TO letter from Secretary
Mosely, Of the interstate commerce COM
mission, asking for information as to the
necessity for granting certain railroads In
the state of Michigan relief from the
operation of the fourth section OF the inter
state commerce law, in order that they may
be able to meet water competition at
certain points. Deputy Railroad Com
missioner ransom OF Michigan, writes:
"Heretofore there has seemed to be but
little active competition between the rail-
road companies and the vessel interests
during the season Of navigation. The latter
have generally fixed the rates and the rail-
roads come to them II they obtained any OF
the traffic. Whether there has been very
much in It, besides the increased volume OF
tonnage to the credit of the general freight
agents, Is very doubtful.
"The interstate traffic, from water points
in Michigan, is limited largely to forest
products and salt on the lower peninsula,
and to forest and mineral products In the
upper. Wherever these products can find
chipping points by water, the vessel rates
will take the larger porSion OF the business
in all cases, where the railroad companies
are compelled to maintain rates based upon
the 'haul' clause Of the Interstate act.
Under these conditions the vessel rate
would be just enough lower than the rate
by rail to prevent the companies taxing
any portion of the traffic, but still largely
above what the rate would be, were the
'baul' clause suspended at lake points
and the railroad companies placed In posi- :
tion to compete for share Of the traffic
successfully. 1t is evident, / think, that
the companies do not intend reducing local
rates for the purpose Of enabling them to
do a through business In competition with
water competition. II, therefore, you
suspend the operation of the 'long haul
rule at lake points, | cannot see how such
action would do inside local points an In.
Justice, and 1t would certainly give the
shippers at lake competing points far
better rate than they could secure were the
vessels given practical monopoly OF the
trade by strict application OF the rule.
"In the general Interest OF our people
would say suspend the rule during the sea.
con Of navigation and enforce 1t while navi-
cation is closed.
"Did the question only involve the car
rage Of frelghts In transit through our state
from outside points, we should not favor
the suspension OF the rule in favor Of the
railroad companies; but In the interest OF
our coastwise trade, we think the iron-clad
application Of the law should be waived
during the season Of navigation"

good condition and great boom down there

lull in Birmingham real estate sales, but there
is very large amount OF building going on
There seems to be remarkable amount OF
enterprise manifested In the south, especially
In Alabama aud eastern Tennessee, develop.
ing the natural resources OF the country.
While real estate speculation may have been
overdone at some points, still many localities
have yet to feel the effect OF the enterprise and
Improvements going on. There Is no question
but that tho newly developed manufacturing

basis, and / belieyo that Georgia, Alabama,

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
Breaking up Grave Abuse Which Has
Existed at Morocco.

Existed at morocco.
For some time past the Department Of
State has been inquiring into the allegations
of grave abuses arising in Morocco through
the imprisonment Of debtors by unscrupu-
lous persons claiming to act under the
protection OF the United States consul.
The new consul at Tangiers, Mr.. Lewis, Of
Pennsylvania, has taken an active interest
in the subject, and has fully informed the
department Of the hardships that have
resulted to individuals from the inhuman
exercise Of the power Of arrest allowed by
the native government to persons claiming
to be under the protection Of the great
nations Of the world.
A statement has been received from our
consul denying that he was in any way re.
sponsible for the ignominious treatment Of
aJewish debtor during the Passover by men
bearing an American nag. The consul says
he has just caused the liberation Of ten per-
sons who had been confined In the native
prisons for over year. In view of these
facts the department has given instructions
to the consul to revoke all permits OF "pro-
tections" now outstanding and to discon-
tinue imprisonment for debt and new
consular code embodying this principle is
now In course Of preparation.
